Again, that’s not the first time that’s happened. We’ve had worse and it didn’t lead to civil war.

Think about what a civil war would entail. It is literally war between neighbors. You really think Americans are ready to kill each other en masse and give up everything they have, for what?

It’s easy to make proclamations about some abstract idea of “civil war” but the reality is that most Americans are doing relatively well and would not stake their lives on something that doesn’t even promise a better outcome.

I recommend you stop watching CNN and thinking that's the entire country

Things were fine in my locality, and in the vast majority of localities across the country.

I walk and drive around and don't see much burning.

Listen to my family living elsewhere and you’d think my neighborhood in Minneapolis is still burning.
